Jared Leto’s Morbius has opened up in theaters to a flood of negative reviews, becoming the third new installment in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe after Tom Hardy’s Venom films. Following two full years of delays to its theatrical release, the film only has a C+ rating on CInemaScore and is currently sitting at a 17% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes. Amongst various, simplistic movie-making issues that critics and fans have with Morbius, Spider-Man fans are also worried about the future of the character, especially after Spider-Man: No Way Home completed the web-head’s first MCU trilogy....

May 25, 2022 will be a day long remembered by the Star Wars fan base. At last, Ewan McGregor from the Star Wars prequel trilogy will reprise his role as the franchise’s original Jedi Master in Obi-Wan Kenobi for Disney+. Not only will the series connect both of George Lucas’ trilogies, but it will finally tell a story that Star Wars fans have been wanting for years. Lucasfilm’s third series for Disney+ is also set to serve as a sort of prequel-era reunion....

The MCU is growing more expansive than ever over the course of Phase 4, finally including characters that were first seen in Marvel TV’s old Netflix shows from a few years back. Within the same week, Charlie Cox’s Daredevil had a memorable scene in Spider-Man: No Way Home while Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin was revealed to be the big bad of Hawkeye in Episodes 5 and 6. Now, next in line could potentially be Netflix’s biggest power couple: Luke Cage and Jessica Jones....

Marvel’s next streaming Disney+ series, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, looks to shake things up a bit. With a main hero who is 100% CGI most of the time and following a lighthearted, comedic tone, the upcoming MCU show seeks to be compelling and ambitious. She-Hulk follows Jennifer Walters, cousin to Dr. Bruce Banner, aka The Hulk. As the result of an accident, Jen ends up becoming a Hulk just like Bruce, although she’s more akin to the intelligent version of the character audiences met in Avengers: Endgame rather than a raging brute....

Following these guidelines can help you to build a higher quality, longer-lasting wardrobe. Fashion may be fun, but it’s hard on the planet. The most recent data from the Environmental Protection Agency is from 2015, and it shows that Americans generate on average 75 pounds of textile waste per person per year. As Kendra Pierre-Louis writes for the New York Times, “That’s more than a 750 percent increase since 1960 and is nearly 10 times the increase in the country’s population over the same time period....

When Marvel’s Avengers game was released last year, there were heavy expectations. It’s safe to say that those expectations fell short on nearly every account; the game’s launch is on record as being one of the more disastrous in recent memories. With problems including, but not limited to, countless bugs, meaningless and unexciting loot, lazy cosmetics, little to no villains, and no endgame content, the game has been teetering on the edge of extinction for quite some time....

Following a few weeks of hiatus, Lucasfilm and Disney are inching closer to a return to the galaxy far, far away with Star Wars: Andor premiering on Disney+ on September 21. This series will take fans back to the unexplored gaps in the Skywalker Saga for the second time this year after Obi-Wan Kenobi, giving more depth to Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor before he meets Jyn Erso in 2016’s Rogue One....

Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is now in full swing courtesy of the highly-talked-about debut of WandaVision on Disney+. The inaugural MCU offering will lay the groundwork for several multiverse-heavy storylines, and it is expected that it will change the franchise in surprising ways. On the flip side, other projects will focus on introducing new heroes into the mix, and one of those is Eternals. Directed by Chloe Zhao (Nomadland), the film will mark the debut of a unique group of heroes from the pages of Marvel Comics, and they will be bannered by an all-star cast that includes the likes of Angelina Jolie, Kit Harrington, and Richard Madden....

As it turns out, HBO’s The Last of Us Episode 2 once featured an even darker opening scene than the one audiences ultimately got. The critically-acclaimed PlayStation adaptation is two episodes deep now, with audiences eating up Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey’s journey across a post-apocalyptic America. Ever since the game’s debut back in 2013, The Last of Us has garnered quite the reputation for being a pretty dark affair, something that has been on display (and will continue to be) in the HBO series....

Last week, a new cover for Empire gave the spotlight to Tom Hiddleston in anticipation of his series Loki, including an exclusive interview with the actor. A snippet of this interview was released which had Hiddleston talking all about how the show’s logo thematically ties into Loki’s character. Unlike certain characters who will remain dead, Loki has faked his death in the Marvel Cinematic Universe several times now. This was done most erroneously in Thor: The Dark World, which was subsequently mocked in Thor: Ragnarok....

A new set of quotes reveal the first details of the “surprising” story set for Pixar’s Toy Story 5. The latest Toy Story sequel was just one of a number of animated announcements at Disney, including the development of Inside Out 2 and Frozen 3. While many have remarked that Toy Story 4, and Toy Story 3 before that, felt like a natural conclusion to the Toy Story franchise, Pixar continues to want to expand on the world of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and co....

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has been a unique addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Its half-hour legal comedy structure has provided the MCU with more than a few fresh experiences and introduced several new faces, including The Wrecking Crew, the newly freed Abomination, Porcupine, Mr. Immortal, and more. But the biggest guest star is still to come: Daredevil.Ever since it was announced that Charlie Cox’s costumed defender was going to be appearing alongside Tatiana Maslany’s newly introduced hero, fans have been ecstatic....

Recently, Disney announced that a huge slate of former Marvel series was going to make their move to Disney+. Many never thought something like this would happen, given how most of those shows were originally made by, and for, Netflix. So how could the service lose the streaming rights? Somehow it’s happened, and the mouse’s streaming service has become all the richer for it. Both Marvel and Disney have done their best to promote the change, making sure it’s out there for general audiences to be as informed as possible....

It is not about making the world safer for cyclists, it is about making the world safer for autonomous cars. Ford has been doing a big “smart city” push at CES, the tech extravaganza formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show. According to BikeBiz, they announced a “new artificial intelligence-driven bicycle-to-vehicle communication system.” At the show on Tuesday, Ford announced a system that uses cellular communications to allow vehicles to communicate with other vehicles, pedestrian devices, bikes, and roadside infrastructure including traffic signs and construction zones....

In an earlier post, I suggested that e-bikes should be bought from and maintained by people who know what they are doing. I have always believed that we should support our local retailers and not buy stuff online, which is a point I have made about bike shops. I have rarely had such pushback in comments, emails, and Twitter, and I have had to reconsider my position. I was actually undercut right from the beginning, when bike journalist and author Carlton Reid noted that the major point is to get people out of cars and on to bikes, which is absolutely true....

Joshua Zimmerman has a great project up on Instructables for turning an Altoids tin into a compact solar radio. All said, the entire project cost a whole $3. It seems like a project coming at a time when everyone is ultra aware of emergency situations, so it is both a fun and practical weekend tinkering project. It even comes complete with plug-in headphones.Joshua writes, “In honor of all my good friends still over in Japan I’ve decided to create an Instructable for a $3 Emergency Solar Radio....

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is here, and fans are raving over this Multiversal epic. The film has garnered mostly positive reviews, with many praising the distinct style that is present in the film. This is a Sam Raimi movie through and through, and his fingerprints are all over its two-hour runtime. And it is this Raimi signature style of movie-making that has audiences divided over the Doctor Strange sequel....

There’s no denying that Spider-Man: No Way Home was the biggest movie Marvel Studios has put out in the entire Multiverse Saga. Of course, it’s not surprising, given it is a Spidey film. But what made it even bigger was how it not only brought back five previous villains but also Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as their respective Spider-Men.Combining all of those together basically gives Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures a legal method of printing money....

In Sweden everyone has the legal right to walk, cycle, ride, ski and camp almost anywhere in nature. You may have seen the recent news about Sweden. The Scandinavian Shangri-La has turned the entire country into an Airbnb listing. As the cute and clever ad campaign from Visit Sweden notes, “the best part is – you don’t have to officially book accommodation because all publicly owned land is entirely free and accessible to everyone!...
